Jeremiah Green has sadly died just days after revealing his cancer diagnosis. The Modest Mouse drummer was 45.
On Saturday (December 31), Jeremiah’s mother took to social media to announce that her son had passed away. It was revealed just four days prior that he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
His mother wrote on Facebook:
“It is with a very heavy heart that the Green and Namatame families announce the passing of their husband, father, son and brother, Jeremiah Green.
Jeremiah, drummer and founding member of the Issaquah based band Modest Mouse, lost his courageous battle with cancer on December 31. He went peacefully in his sleep.”
Jeremiah’s mom went on to say:
“Jeremiah was a light to so many. At this time the family is requesting privacy. More information will be forthcoming including a Celebration of Life for friends and fans in the coming months.
Jeremiah’s loved ones would like to thank everyone for their continued well wishes and support.”
Our thoughts are with Jeremiah’s loved ones at this difficult time.
